Lunchbox: Inside and Out
Comic Books, airstream trailers, 1960s TV shows ... all are indelibly etched in the american pop culture landscape. but if there's one little corner of our past that's been overlooked, it's the lunchbox. Hyped by manufacturers of the time, stuffed with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and thermoses leaking chocolate milk, carted from suburban split-levels to schoolyards across the country for four decades, these compact forms of portable art embody a whole world of memory and nostalgia. From outer space to superheroes, from cowboys to cartoons, in metal or nifty vinyl ... here, for the first time, is the whole colorful history of one of the coolest collectibles of our time.

If you think about it your lunchbox was one of the first items that defined you when you were growing up. I can remember arguing about who had the best LB when I was in grade school. This book will bring back lots of memories...I sure do wish I still had some of my old lunchboxes so I could make some money right now!
